I have the pleasure of exhibiting with artist Leanne Baird at the Rails End Gallery in Haliburton, Ontario this month. The exhibition is up until May 25th, 2017. We will be doing a closing of the exhibition with a workshop that I will lead on the Tree Of Life from 6pm to 9pm (more info below). Leanne Baid and Gaia Orion Sacred Woods At the opening event I shared my thoughts on our connection to the theme of nature and why it is very important to bring the mystical back in the contemporary art world.

This card deck invites women to a reconciliation with their body, to love it, to appreciate it and discover its deep resources which are often forgotten. It is an invaluable tool to know oneself and one’s body. These oracle cards open the door so that we return to self-love and sacred sexuality. The box set includes 64 cards that illustrate various “powers” and a 180 page color booklet. Each “power” comes with a key to understand, a message, a ritual, an action for the day and a positive affirmation. ...

They pulled over on the side of the road and looked into each other’s eyes. Don’t go back, Gaia Orion said to her husband, don’t go back to the factory. Spending the next 30 years in a job that didn’t mean anything, that was only a means of putting food on the table was scarier than the thought of walking away, of having no plans and three small children to feed. They’d never been afraid of life. Gaia had always possessed an underlying certainty that things would work out. Read more Kate Grigg, the author of the...

In this workshop we will explore how we are often in transition in the midst of life learning and growing. Sometimes there are big life changes that tear us apart while sometime it is subtle and felt as a bubbling anxiety of being. Most of the time transition is uncomfortable but let’s get together to remind ourselves that it is always a door to new beginnings. “When the caterpillar ‘dies’, it has no idea that it is initiating the birth of a beautiful butterfly.” We will create artwork and see how it will show us patterns...

“I met Gaia at a festival of the Sacred Feminine in Montreal. We had a beautiful woman to woman connection. I loved her paintings and her art jewelry. Her palette of colors and the power emanating of each image talked to me in a universal language that is at service to humanity. I knew when we met that we would stay in touch and that I would contribute in promoting her talent. A few months later I was writing my book on shamanic women’s circles. When I realized I needed artwork for the cover I immediately thought about Gaia. Our...

This art workshop was given at an event of the Association for Tranformational Leaders of Toronto. Gaia’s workshop invite you to discover how art can become a way of learning about ourselves when we create intuitive drawings. They are an opportunity to engage in the arts as they are a catalyst for our evolutionary growth at a personal level but also in culture as a whole. Whatever your field or profession Gaia’s art workshops welcome you as they are designed to increase creative thinking, innovation capabilities, problem...

In this interview visionary artist Gaia Orion shares why she feels such an affinity with integral theory. She explains how integral art is an emerging movement that provides a platform for artists to represent their holistic visions for a healthy society and a harmonious world....

I am always in the process of working on three or four pieces of commissioned artwork. Most of the time it is for businesses but sometimes it is more personal like in this case. Below is the first email my client sent when she approached me to co-create this painting: “I dream of a painting about the woman that is still hiding in me. I want it to have a symbolic place in my life. To give you an idea of how special this painting will be: if there were a war and I would have to go in exodus, I would take this painting with me under my...

It started with my vagina. Don’t get too excited, I am just talking about my first vagina painting that I created about 7 years ago! This image came to me in a vivid dream a few nights in a row. I felt it was strongly connected to Sheila Na Gig, the Celtic goddess of fertility. Her images are found throughout the Celtic culture in early Christian and Pagan art and sculpture. A few years later Susun Weed sent a call for artists for her book Down There, Sexual and Reproductive Health. I was inspired to create a whole bunch of more vaginas...

Wild Woman archetype and story represents the purest most primal mystical life. Her total connection with the elements, her response to the call despite of the challenges, her confidence and trust, coupled with her vulnerability and sensitivity: For me all these are aspects of a dedicated life on the way to be free and...
